Secretary of State insisting on outside affidavits for campaign finance violations. So, this affiant has filed in matter of $100,000 donation to Dakota First Action PAC.

Are Republicans in D21 trying to be like the Democrats, or is that a Democrat PAC involved in supporting the hard right in the District 21 GOP Primaries?
